This Moment dives into why vulnerability works. Why the polished, unapproachable founder is fading, and why real stories create trust, connection, and visibility. Bryce North shares why audiences have stronger radar than ever for hype and sales tactics. When someone shares something real and human, it signals care, credibility, and leadership. Founders are not boring — they just need to articulate what they have lived. Bryce breaks down how transformation stories build influence, how to turn experience into a story arc, and why the fastest path to trust is showing what you have learned, not what you claim to be.
